1 Digital Conversion Script SHOT / TITLE DESCRIPTION 1. 00:00 Animated Open Animated Open 2. 00:07 Footage of Model HDTV Station TELEVISION IS CHANGING. NOT JUST NEW SHOWS, BUT WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY :14 Footage from PBS PSA Audio of PBS PSA: By February 2009 the broadcast TV signals will only be digital and if you want to keep watching your favorite programs there are things you need to know :23 Antonio Neves on camera ANTONIO ON CAMERA: HI, I M ANTONIO NEVES FOR THE.NEWS. THIS IS AN ANALOG TELEVISION SET. IT S NOT THAT DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY PEOPLE WATCH TV ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO. NOW BEHIND ME IS A HIGH DEFINITION DIGITAL TELEVISION SET. HOW WE GOT FROM HERE TO THERE IS A COMBINATION OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND GOVERNMENT POLICY. 1

2 5. 00:42 Archival footage of TV and studios over the years TV WAS INVENTED IN THE 1920S. IT WAS BASED ON ANALOG TECHNOLOGY. THE FIRST OVER THE AIR LOCAL BROADCAST WAS IN YEARS LATER THE NETWORKS WENT COAST TO COAST. IN THE 50S COLOR SETS APPEARED, ALONG WITH REMOTE CONTROLS THAT USED RADIO WAVES. RECORDING VIDEO TAPE CAME IN THE 70S. PRODUCTION COSTS DROPPED IN THE 80S. AND DIGITAL DVDS CAME ON THE SCENE IN THE 90S. AND NOW, THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION :17 Archival footage of TV and graphic of analog broadcasting HERE S HOW IT WORKS. IN ANALOG TV A CAMERA TAKES THE LIGHT HITTING ITS LENS AND CONVERTS IT INTO A PATTERN OF WAVES. CHANGE OR MOVEMENT IS TRANSMITTED BY MODIFYING THE PATTERN. 01:28 Archival footage of TV and graphic of digital broadcasting IN A DIGITAL TRANSMISSION, THE CAMERA RECORDS A PICTURE AS A DIGITAL FILE. IT THEN SENDS A SERIES OF ZEROS AND ONES, JUST LIKE VIDEO ON A COMPUTER. 2

3 7. 01:37 01:41 Footage of television program using analog signal Shermaze Ingram on camera Shermaze Ingram, National Association of Broadcasters: Most of us are accustomed to seeing the ghosting and the interference and the snow that sometimes happens with watching over-the-air television. Of course with digital that goes away and so consumers viewing experience will be dramatically better :48 Footage of an analog transmitter THE CHANGE COMES FEBRUARY 17, 2009 WHEN TODAY S STATIONS SHUT DOWN THEIR OLD ANALOG TRANSMITTERS AND GO DIGITAL :57 Footage of satellite dish, cable box, and television set VIEWERS WITH CABLE OR SATELLITE CONNECTIONS ARE ALREADY GETTING DIGITAL SIGNALS BUT THAT LEAVES MANY VIEWERS SCRAMBLING TO GET READY :06 02:10 02:15 Footage of National Association of Broadcasters building Shermaze Ingram and Antonio Neves walking down hall Shermaze Ingram on camera SHERMAZE INGRAM OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS IS WORKING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE DIGITAL TRANSITION. SHE SAYS MORE THAN 20 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS NEED TO GET READY FOR DIGITAL. 3

4 11. 02:18 02:25 Shermaze Ingram on camera Footage of satellite dish and television sets Shermaze Ingram, National Association of Broadcasters: In addition to that number, it turns out that there are nearly 15 million households nationwide that are what we call mixed households. Which means that they have cable or satellite maybe in a main living room or family room for the family viewing but they also have additional sets in a kitchen or bedroom or garage someplace 02:34 Shermaze Ingram on camera that are not hooked up to a pay television service like cable and those TV sets are also going to need a converter box otherwise they will not work after February :42 Footage of control room and digital signal graphic TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS SAY THE CHANGEOVER WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TELEVISION PICTURES. DIGITAL SIGNALS ARE MORE STABLE. 4

5 13. 02:50 Footage of television shows with Electromagnetic Energy graphic BOTH DIGITAL AND ANALOG SIGNALS ARE KINDS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. 02:54 03:00 03:06 Footage of residential houses Electromagnetic Energy graphic Picture of Capitol building with FCC graphic SUCH ENERGY IS ALL AROUND US, EVERYTHING FROM SOUND WAVES TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. SCIENTISTS REFER TO ALL OF THESE SIGNALS AS THE SPECTRUM. THE PART OF THE SPECTRUM USED FOR COMMUNICATION IS CONTROLLED BY THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, THE FCC, UNDER A LAW PASSED IN

6 14. 03:13 03:19 03:21 Footage of control room Footage of Capitol building FCC graphic JUST AS DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY RESULTED FROM NEW SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, THE CHANGEOVER TO DIGITAL REQUIRED NEW PUBLIC POLICY. IN 1993, THE FCC RELEASED STANDARDS FOR DIGITAL BROADCASTING AND RECEPTION. THANKS TO A LAW PASSED IN 2005, ALL TELEVISION STATIONS END ANALOG BROADCASTING BY FEBRUARY :34 Kevin J. Martin on camera Kevin J. Martin, FCC Chairman: Consumers are going to receive the benefit of digital broadcasting, allowing stations to offer improved pictures and sound and the potential for offering multiple broadcast signals :44 Chris Sterling and Antonio Neves walking down street CHRIS STERLING USED TO WORK AT THE FCC. HE NOW TEACHES MEDIA POLICY AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 6

7 17. 03:52 Chris Sterling on camera Chris Sterling, George Washington University: In many ways, it s cell phones that are driving this revolution. They need more spectrum so that more of us can carry them, more of us can get more services 04:02 04:06 Footage of girl using her ipod Chris Sterling on camera we can get web, we can get games, we can get video streaming. That takes huge amounts of spectrum, and the best place to find that spectrum, in the best part of the spectrum, is to take television channels :16 Footage of PBS PSA with spectrum graphic DIGITAL SIGNALS DON T INTERFERE WITH EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS ANALOG, SO TV BROADCASTS CAN LIVE CLOSER TOGETHER IN THE SPECTRUM. PART OF THE SPECTRUM IS BEING GIVEN TO POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS TO IMPROVE RADIO COMMUNICATION AND TO CREATE A BROADBAND NETWORK. THE REST IS BEING AUCTIONED OFF. SO FAR, THE GOVERNMENT HAS RAISED 20 BILLION DOLLARS FROM THESE AUCTIONS. 7

8 19. 04:37 Chris Sterling on camera Chris Sterling, George Washington University: The policy worry here is about those in rural areas, those who are elderly, and those who are poor, and especially those who are all three. Those are the people who may get affected, turn on their televisions on the 18 th of February 2009 and find they get nothing but fuzz :58 05:08 Shermaze Ingram on camera Footage of digital converter box and the coupon Shermaze Ingram, National Association of Broadcasters: You re going to have to make a change. It means you re going to have to upgrade your set. You can do it very cheaply by getting a digital converter box and it turns out that the federal government is actually offering households a subsidy where they can get a coupon from the government, up to two actually per household, that will offset the purchase of a converter box by about 40 dollars :15 Steve Kidera and Antonio Neves with analog television set STEVE KIDERA OF THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN TRAVELING THE COUNTRY SHOWING PEOPLE HOW TO HOOK UP THEIR SETS TO CONVERTER BOXES. 8

9 22. 05:24 05:37 Steve Kidera demonstrating the digital converter box with graphic Steve Kidera on camera Steve Kidera, Consumer Electronics Association: You just look right in the back; all the cables come with the converter box. One goes from the antenna into the box, and one from the box to the back of your TV where your antenna was plugged in. So real simple to setup. Even if you have an analog set, as long as you get the converter box, you ll still have a digital picture, much sharper picture, better sound :46 Footage of control room and television set MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF ALL STATIONS IN THE U.S. ARE NOW BROADCASTING IN BOTH ANALOG AND DIGITAL. THE MESSAGE FROM BROADCASTERS, DON T WAIT TO UPGRADE YOUR SET. 9

10 24. 05:56 Antonio Neves on camera ANTONIO ON CAMERA: NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE HOW AND WHAT WE WATCH ON TV. ONE POSSIBILITY, THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIMENTING WITH BROADCASTING THEIR GAMES IN 3D. I M ANTONIO NEVES FOR THE.NEWS.
